Andy Pages Launches Three Homers as Dodgers Rout Astros 12-2

Tyler Glasnow’s early exit with back pain puts his status under evaluation.

Overview

  • Pages, who went 3-for-5 with six RBIs, powered Los Angeles on Wednesday in Houston to a 12-2 win that clinched the three-game series.
  • Glasnow notched his 1,000th career strikeout in the first inning, then left during warmups before the second with low back pain and is set for an MRI in Los Angeles.
  • Six Dodgers relievers — Jack Dreyer, Edgardo Henriquez, Kyle Hurt, Blake Treinen, Tanner Scott, and Brock Stewart — covered eight innings and allowed one run.
  • Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. yielded six runs in 2 2/3 innings and threw three wild pitches that fueled the Dodgers’ early surge, and catcher César Salazar later pitched the ninth and gave up Pages’ third homer.
  • Shohei Ohtani ended an 0-for-18 skid with a double and an RBI single, and Pages’ outburst made him the second Dodger this season with a three-homer game, joining Max Muncy.
